So true! I'm trying to become less obese and have been avoiding sugary carbonated drinks as much as possible, but when I was recently at Underground Retrocade, first thing I did when I walked in and paid my admission was to ask for a Dew. Later on I had a cream soda.

Ironically, I'm cutting down on sodas, but any trip to Michigan calls for some Faygos in my book. And they also make a really good cream soda!

What I try to do is limit myself to one 12oz a day (not that I drink one every day either). I also don't drink them with meals anymore. It makes it more of a treat and more enjoyable than guzzling a 32oz at a restaurant with some food.

For me personally, sugar has become something to avoid as i get closer to the big 5-0. As much as I like it, too much sugar just makes me feel sick after. Still, a can of "real" soda once in a while is fine for me -- I treat it like a special treat like Starbuck said. And man is it hard to avoid sugar completely.

Yup. Had Vernors many times! And, if I am not mistaken, they even had a commercial starring Soupy Sales!

I remember bringing some Vernors with us on a family vacation back to Maine one summer (its where I was born and still have a lot of family out there). One of my friends fished one out of the cooler, was like "what's this," then about choked on it after he took a big swig He wasn't prepared for that level of carbonation! He really enjoyed it though, and asked us to bring more next time we came out

I still like Vernors, but I prefer Canada Dry when I want a ginger ale, so I don't drink it much anymore.

I remember when Moutain Dew Code Red came out before the 27 different variations of Dew we have today. I was a big MD fan and was happy to try the Red. It took awhile for me to fully admit it, but I ended up like Red even better than the original, and that's saying something.

Well, guess what? Moon Mist Blue pulls a Code Red and far outshines regular Moon Mist. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it's a blueberry flavor they've added. And it tastes great! It's also the only flavor I saw this time around that I never saw before. It's not quite at Code Red level, but I'd gladly drink this one again.

I remember trying this a few years ago for the first time alongside Candy Apple. I was skeptical of both at first, but Candy Apple was a pleasant surprise. But wow! Is Cotton Candy good! It's amazing what they can do with chemicals these days! I don't know how to put it, except it is exactly how a Cotton Candy pop should be. Just the right amount of sweetness and after a sip, you really get the Cotton Candy taste. If you don't like cotton candy in general, you may not care for it, but as it is, THIS IS THE BEST COTTON CANDY SODA POP OUT THERE!!!!!
